Well, I changed the plugs and sprayed some oil in there while was at it. Changed the oil and filter. Starts easy and sounds great. Now, the 2 of the 4 brake drums are frozen, and the clutch is probably rusted onto the flywheel, cause I have to turn it off to shift. The drums are frozen onto the pads it seems, cause it dont come off.
Do you have any recomendations as to how to get the drum off? I'm going to weld some bars to the drum and whack it off with a hammer, and replace the drum. I do plan on changing all 8 brake cylinders at this time. My main concern is the clutch. I really dont like my fully manual transmission. Any sugguestions as to how to unstickit? Some people have said hitting it with knocks from the starter might budge it, or driving it around could free it up. If you have any suguestions as to other services I might do to this noble beast before I drive it around, they will be much appreciated. Yes, I do plan on flushing the rad. And preference to the chemicals used?
